Hi alli,

Thanks for that. I have those dates but only used Elizabeth's for my query.

The Ann/ Nancy thing is interesting as Charles the father born circa 1798 had a sister Ann born circa 1791. He also has a brother John.

Interesting that she is "sister in law" in one census and "of independent means" in another.

John was already married to Lydia Baynton but that's not to say that he could have married twice.

Is the 1861 census any clearer please?

Best wishes
